3. solve the following with regard to significant figures
a) 5.8 + 0.125
II) 3.9x105-2.5x104

a)5.925

ii)149.5 or383.5

Explanation:

ii)3.9×105-2.5×104

409.5-260

the zero in 260 may or may not be significant since it is after two significant figures thus we have two options

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
